The weather is cooling off, it’s time to get your Festival on!
There’s a lot going on this year as Dallas / Fort Worth celebrates everything from wine to beer, from balloons to butterflies, from cowboy culture to the cultures around the world that influence and inform our own. This Autumn art, music, film, food and family-friendly kid fun abounds. Not all of the festivals listed here are free but they’re all worth knowing about.
